Description

An alternate method to install nodejs during maven build is to use frontend-maven-plugins. However, the current version of the plugins ( version =< 1.0.0) has hard coded path to x86 node binary.
This issue has been resolved by pull request https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/pull/427, targeted for 1.2.0 release.
Meanwhile to unblock zeppelin, Tez, and Ambari 2.2.0 builds we need to include the plugin and PhantomJS as part of the docker slave image for PPC.
